New Doctors Housing at Kudjip Nazarene Mission Station

We arrived in PNG mid April to find that Adam’s first big project was to take over the new doctor housing project, which was in mid swing. The hospital was building three new houses to accommodate prospective doctors coming on a more long term basis. We seem to have a real housing crunch here in at Kudjip, for both national staff and missionaries, the new houses are to be a great asset. 

May brought exterior painting and a great
Work & Witness Team to help.

Adam took over the position of supervisor on the
doctor houses as interior painting began.

When Adam took over the project there were about 15 national carpenters busily working on the interior walls. Adam oversaw the project from interior walls to a finished product. He worked with two Work & Witness Teams on the project and really had the opportunity to build his leadership skills as he worked along side the carpenters day in and day out. It was a great learning process and an opportunity to learn how to “build” an american style structure in Papua New Guinea.

In August, finish work started on the exterior.

As we speak, the last house is being cleaned and set up. We have a young doctor and his family moving into House C at the beginning of January and a visiting family staying in House B for Christmas. Though the project was a bit trying at times, it is a blessing to see a finished product and know that as one doctor leaves, perfect timing has played itself out for another doctor to come and have a home for his family.

Adam even got a chance to showcase his artistic metal work skills
with a custom railing on House A and B.

We had a local mission, EBC, come to help finish the kwila
floors, the finished product is really beautiful.

Our prayer is that these houses will be a blessing by providing more housing here at Kudjip. In return, we hope it will bring in missionary doctors to help with the continuous need at the hospital. 

Continue to pray with us as future doctors answer the call to serve at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital and Mission Station in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
